Inspector Gadget, Scooby-Doo Hockey Jersey Designs

As promised elsewhere, behold! A Doctor Claw jersey. The arm stripes represent the MAD doctor’s gloves to a tee. Other than that particular character trait, the rest of the jersey carries the MAD theme. I’d like to think if they started a company team, they would wear these.

Speaking of Inspector Gadget, I discovered something about the show I never noticed before. There is very little onscreen lip-sync used. Besides Dr. Claw’s mouth never needing to be animated, the rest of the characters were often framed so their mouths didn’t have to be animated to a voice-over. Gadget’s mouth was often covered by a piece of paper or his hand. When Penny talked, it was mostly Brain shown as listening (like when he is looking at his video watch). I admire this approach, as it allowed them to focus on the slapstick and body language instead. The animation was very good quality for its time.

Here is a Mystery Machine-themed design for Scooby and the gang:

Forgive me for not covering this one in orange flowers and wavey stripes. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

These designs are just for fun, no plans currently to make them available.

Here’s the thing, the jerseys are expensive so I can only justify buying one. I was contemplating a few of the ones already available, but then I saw Dr.Claw jersey. Now I will not buy any jersey but a Dr. Claw jersey. Please make it available.
